HP-UX Configuration

In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the 
remote printer. The steps are as follows:

1

Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select 

Printers and Plotters

.

2

Select 

LP Spooler

.

3

Select 

Printers and Plotters

.

4

Select 

Actions

 and then 

Add Remote Printer/Plotter

.

5

Enter any name as the 

Printer Name

 (this will be the name of 

the print queue).

6

Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the 

Remote 

System Name

.

7

Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the 

Remote 

Printer Name

.

8

Check the box next to 

Remote Printer is on BSD system

.

9

You may accept the default values for the remaining items.

10

Click 

OK

 to configure the printer.

You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the 
printer name.

If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration 
procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs 
to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the Print/Fax server. 
You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in 
addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a 
remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer 
(a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use 
the lp -d command with the logical printer name.
